- TerpenesA. Provide a reasonable mechanism for the production of geranyl pyrophosphate from IPP andDMAPPB. How many molecules of IPP and how many molecules of DMAPP would you need to makefarnesyl pyrophosphatearrow_forwardDraw the enol form of Thymine, and show how this tautomer could form a Watson-Crickbase pair with Guanine. If this happened, what would be the consequence?arrow_forwardConsider the two isoprenoid precursors IPP and DMAPP.A. Which one is more susceptible to SN1 reaction? Explain your answerB. Which is a more likely nucleophile? Explain your answerarrow_forward
- Draw the structure of the anti-HIV drug AZT (zidovudine), which stops retro-viral DNAsynthesis. When AZT is taken up by cells, it is converted to AZT triphosphate. Explain how thiscompound could interfere with DNA synthesisarrow_forwardIn the mevalonate pathway, three acetyl-CoA are combined to give a C5 product, IPP.A. Write out a 5-step general acid/general base mechanism to explain how HMG-CoA isformed from 3 acetyl-CoA (Note: we are leaving out some details. The enzyme HMG-CoA actuallyuses its Cys residues to accept acetyl groups from 2 acetyl-CoA, making new thioesters and liberatingCoASH) B. Two NADPH and two H+ are required to form mevalonic acid from HMG-CoA. Circle the Hatoms that came from NADPH, and put a square around any H atoms that came from H+.C. Three ATP are used to convert mevalonic acid to IPP. Explain the role of each ATP moleculearrow_forwardhttp://topdocumentaryfilms.com/sex-lies-cigarettes/arrow_forward

Is ATP required for this reaction to proceed? Explain.arrow_forwardDescribe one way in which Public Health professionals have tried to combat the problem of poor diet, obesity, and or inactivity in the US. Describe the full scope of this strategy/and or intervention. How did it work to combat poor diet, obesity, and or inactivity ? Identify and describe one challenge for implementation of this strategy/intervention. 2. Would this strategy be classified as regulation or education? 3.How does this strategy/intervention fit with the Health Belief Model, Stages of Change model or Ecological model? 4. Was this intervention/strategy successful? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- describe one way in which Public Health professionals have tried to combat the problem of tobacco use in the US. Describe the full scope of this strategy/and or intervention. How did it work to combat tobacco use? Identify and describe one challenge for implementation of this strategy/intervention. 2. Would this strategy be classified as regulation or education? 3. Was this intervention/strategy successful? Why or why not?arrow_forwarda) Find a nitrogen base. What carbon is the base attached to? b) What two nitrogenous bases are held together by 2 hydrogen bonds? c)What two nitrogenous bases are held together by 3 hydrogen bonds?arrow_forwardYou will be building a double-stranded DNA molecule, representing a short (20 base) sequence that could be found in a chromosome. It will have a 3' --> 5' strand and a 5' --> 3' strand. Use two full 12-base-pair DNA models. a) Upload a photo of a model once the first 6 nucleotides have been inserted to base pair with the two parent strands. b)Upload a photo of DNA polymerase I and Ligase in "action" removing the RNA primer nucleotides and making new phosphodiester bonds. c)Upload a photo of the final two DNA strands, after Termination, identifying the parent and daughter strands of each.arrow_forward
